Cricket Hill Nursery, Fall 2017. A Rockii hybrid: white with red markings 4' x 4'. Drought caused it to drop foliage and it was assumed dead in late 2018. Good spring rains have caused it to shoot up in 2019 |

Geneva Bugleweed (Ajuga genevensis)
|
Have

In its first season it is very well behaved. Long blooming, but not very spectacular, yet. Annies 2017. The heavy monsoons seem to have washed it out of the garden, (metaphorically, not literally); but either way it is gone. |

From Annies. Growing with Artemesia 2017. Surprised to find new growth nibbled by rabbits.. (20 JUN 17) . In August it is showing robust new growth that is adorably purple. In April 2018 it is nowhere to be seen, though in fall one root system was discovered while planting narcissus. |

Silvermound Artemisia (Artemisia schmidtiana 'Silver Mound')
|
Have

Its foliage is very fragrant, and the plant thrives in poor, dryish, heavy soil. It's such a durable and pleasing plant that there's one area of the garden given over to this plant and plants that complement it best, including white iris, white roses, and red roses. |

Bachelor's Button (Centaurea cyanus 'Blue Boy')

Annies Annuals 2017 - listed as centaurea cyanus Blue Diadem batchelor buttons. Growing very quickly and blooming very nicely in early June. Quite wonderful. But short lived. Died in July. Plant more. |

Jupiter's Beard (Centranthus ruber)

|
The first three instances of this plant in my garden I planted. The six or twelve that now grow between the roses in the partly shaded areas are volunteers. Hawkmoths and butterflies are very fond of its flowers. It is a perfect complement to white and light pink roses. I'll occasionally pull them up where they compete with something else; but I doubt I'll ever pull up the last one. (High Country Gardens) |

St. John's Chamomile (Cota tinctoria var. sancti-johannis)

This is not a very drought tolerant plant. It keeps dying. Good only near paths where it will get very regular water. Annies 2017 |

Belladonna Delphinium (Delphinium 'Bellamosum')

Have

Six, mostly in LBE, but also near R. Crocus Rose and Malvern Hills to deter gophers. The one near Pink Lady Apple is going great guns already in mid April. (White Flower Farm) By June two were falling over, and propped up with tomato cages. Two had all their foliage nibbled off. In mildly alkaline soil pH = 7.2 it grew very well. In more alkaline soil pH =7.9 it did not do well. |

I adore the smell of pinks and simply cannot get enough of them. They tolerate a fair amount of drought, frost, and general abuse, but I do sometimes wish they survived longer. Having better luck with them in pots where they drain better, get better attention and are out of reach of hungry gophers. |
